Oh boy this place had high expectations. This being a landmark review for moi I so wanted it be a perfect meal. This came close.
45$ for a set menu and a 30 min time limit this is Omakase for people on the go as there isn't even any seating. What we do get is a private place with a small group to share wonderful sushi. I would go as far as saying this is conductive to a quick conversation with fellow diners. After you have checked the boxes via reservation or a lucky walk in one is brought into the dinning area. The menu is posted outside so you know what to expect (great in labeling pics as its too fast to label and post pics). The few questions that were asked are whether anyone has any allergies and whether one would like to order a drink. Here is a play by play
Hotate: Excellent start. Gleaning fresh
Hirame:Fluke/Flounder isn't my fav type of fish for sushi/sashimi. I personally am not a fan of white fish for sushi/sashimi so I thought this was OK
Kinmedai: Seabream fared better. Again very fresh
Kanapachi: Decent for a yellowtail
Akami: Good start for a taste of the tuna trio. Good starting point for maguro
Chutoro: Excellent. Popular cut of tuna done well here
Otoro: a bit of an acquired taste but I do enjoy my fatty tuna this was very good
Sawara: Not a fan of Mackrel
Katsuo: Smoked version. OK
Ikura: A bit of acquired taste I found it to be decent
Anago: I am a big fan of Anago. Done well here so I enjoyed it a lot. Perhaps the top dish for moi
Temaki: Fellow diner recommended this as explained the special nori they source. Tuna version for the hand roll. Decent
This is very good sushi and at this price a steal IMO. Now I wouldn't treat it as an event meal by any means. This is a quick meal designed to make people not linger around and savor much. There are no options to add on the meal (one can always eat back to back :) 4.5 Stars all said and done.
Yup this is the 1000th review folks who thought we would come so far!
